Diarrhea
Diarrhea is characterised by frequent, loose, or watery stools. Causes include infections, food intolerances, and stress. It can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance if not managed. Most cases resolve without treatment, but persistent diarrhea warrants medical investigation to rule out underlying conditions. Adequate hydration is crucial during episodes.
